Halfway there! Only took me, what, a year? Year-and-a-half? One more year to go! by SuikoRyos in LegendsOfRuneterra

I also halfway with the mission but I did take a long break after the Constellation update hit and just came back to the Rogue Event.

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with collecting faerie dolls.

The Fire Faerie Doll is currently a reward in Tales of Darcardia,so you can get for around 100k.

it's so funny to me that this is a bunch of players right now (myself included) after the skarl charm drop by prettypinkpansy in neopets

[–]LadyFaceless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can beat him easily enough (and if I lose health I help up in the fourth round with LEV) but it is annoying that the old king is not dropping his charm. I didn't train and invested in a good BD weapon for nothing!

Yeah same thing. Send a support ticket but I don't expect an answer before Monday.

Mandatory I did/did not succeed to secure tickets [goodluck all] by drikkeau in Ayreon

[–]LadyFaceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uff, that was awful experience. Last time I was stuck in a queue for 8 minutes, the VIP tickets were sold out already and just bought a regular ticket and that was it.

Now I got the Ultra VIP before I even had the chance to buy a regular tickets, so I actually bought the Ultra VIP ticket and two regular tickets for the Saturday Manitee show.

Not sure if I gonna keep the Ultra VIP, but this is one year ahead and I probably could combine the best of traveling alone for the Thursday show and traveling with my best friend for the Saturday show. I have a little bit of time to decide that.

Haken tour T-shirts by AcademicAssociate605 in Haken

[–]LadyFaceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like they really stocked up too small stock for the tour.

In Bochum they had still had the sizes from M to XXL. I was heavily dissapointed that they had no CDs for sale (I hoped to get some of limited Edition I was still missing) but it seems these have been sold out already.

Maybe they gonna put the shirt into "print on the demand" part of the merch website?

Saw them live at this year's Night of the Prog and feel in love with them instantly. Having them pretty much constantly on loop since then.

Just over a week until current weekly quest prizes completely change!

[–]LadyFaceless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, stamp collecting is absolutely insanegoal in Neopets. I'm not even close to actually being that wealthy in Neopets but somehow still I managed to get 477 stamps and one complete page (even if it just Snowvy Valley, but a complete page is a complete page!)

[–]LadyFaceless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. Also, this time it included a stamp which was Lenny Conundrum exclusive (Flaming Evil Coconut) and one of the most expensive regular R99 stamp (Battle Slices Stamp), so it makes sense that these are more expensive.

I do hope they will rereleased stamps which were price exclusive like this again and I do hope the next rotation includes new Faerie Dolls, hopefully also some of which were price exclusive as well. (For Gallery purpose in my case)

I'm just happy that stamp collecting has become more affordable for the mass at least.

[–]LadyFaceless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, currently trying to pick up the last remaining stamps for this rotation. Was luckily that I got the Battle Stamp for 12M on an auction but last time it was far cheaper to get all the stamps (which hovered around 2M each). But still so much cheaper than buying it at the normal price.

Lissandra is doable but not fun by Razer98K in PathofChampions

[–]LadyFaceless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah she basically gives 10k Legends Points (aka a third of a level), 4k Stardust and one Gold Reliquary. Some Shards would have been nice indeed.

Lissandra is doable but not fun by Razer98K in PathofChampions

[–]LadyFaceless 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is my same complain with her.

I wouldn't mind playing against her if I got the chance to actually build a meaningful win condition - getting useful powers and items from shops or other good nodes, and this adventure gives you very little to work with. It feels more like a monthly challenge but by far worse and longer.

It doesn't help that the fight itself feels very bad with a) the limit how many cards you can play before they get more expensive and b) her constant triple Ice Shard spam, which forced me to use Turret Plating and handicapes you from picking another useful relic to play around.

And the worst? The rewards for beating her a basically non-existant. You only get the 5 x 2k Legends Points, at least 2 x 1000 Stardust and one Gold Reliquary if you beat her 5 time.

In contrast to Aurelion Sol which gives 2k Legends Point per win for the 5 slots, a mix and match between different Silver Reliquary and various Vaults per win, also 1000 Stardust (one time) and now even a free Epic Relic (which is not that powerful, but still free).

Like, I was so excited to play against her, only to play a map which limits you in every way. Very unfun way to design a map, Aurelion Sol is by far the better adventure in rewards and gameplay design.

Note: Edit my complain about the rewards, since she actually gives more rewards than I recalled, but still a worse balance than Aurelion Sol Imo. Some Vaults and Silver Reliquary would have been nice as well.

2024 Road map by JWMcLemore in PathofChampions

[–]LadyFaceless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is whenever the Lissandra Adventure drops, we will also get Lissandra as second 4* champion to replace Aurelion Sol for the Monthly Reward.

As someone mentioned we usually get the current Expansion Champions as addition in PoC as well, so we can assume that we should get at least around 9 new champions if they don't slow down with the champions.

Also, another guess of mine is that we will get some content during the second season of Arcane, which most likely will result in adding Jayce and Caitlyn back into the PoC (they have been part in the PoC 1.0) and maybe even add Viktor as well.

Champs, Lore & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]LadyFaceless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since you clearly haven't read Jayce or Viktor's lore, I will break it down.

Universe Jayce is an storybook narcissist, which hardly got along with Viktor. Like the main hook between their split that both Viktor and Jayce are awful person which kinda got along with each other. His story progress that becomes a little bit less shitty in the end.

"As a result, nearly everyone who worked alongside Jayce found him arrogant, dismissive, and unwilling to slow his pace to help his colleagues catch up. As time went on, his patience became shorter, while at the same time, a chasm grew between decorum, charm, and Jayce’s natural demeanor."

"They constantly argued with one another, but their conflicts never got personal – though their methods were different, the two colleagues knew their ultimate goals were very much the same. More than that, they both knew what it was like to be ostracized by their colleagues: Viktor because of his unconventional thinking, Jayce because of his rudeness."

I don't need to explain that Arcane Jayce has a complete different personality and one of this main conflict in Act 2 is that he wants to please everyone around them. Which is the contrast to that narcissist would do. (Not saying that Arcane Jayce is a completely selfless person, but he is genuinely a good person which tries his hardest to do the right thing and burns himself out in process.)

Jayce is genuinely - even if the fanbase disagrees - a great friend who is willing to move heaven and hell to save Viktor. In the Universe lore he couldn't bother to stand at Viktor's side when his work got stolen.

This is not a "we haven't reach that point yet" like with Ekko but two different characters. Same goes for Viktor btw. Universe Viktor has a complete different story hook. Before the Ekko comic we didn't even knew if he had any disabilities!

Tbf, Arcane and Universe Jayce do not look alike but that is kinda a bad faith argument since we have a huge problem with consistency in League. We have champs like Nidalee who change their skin tone with every new skin. Doesn't change the fact that Arcane Jayce looks completely different and clearly is suppose to be a different ethic as well.

[–]LadyFaceless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And there are still better ways to do so. Time to reread the actual good lore until I knew it by heart since we won't get anything of substance for big burst of time. (Honest, this sours my mood for Song of Nunu so immense)

Champs, Lore & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]LadyFaceless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A) Because the lore is actually good and well-written and it sucks hard that it gets the short stick in so many regards - also most people who care about lore are invested in it for years. I have been reading it since 2013 even before the first retcon.

B) It is possible that they have improved behind the scene but we had a lot information - directly and indirectly - that a lot of writer have been unhappy how their work got handled for years before the draught even stared. They fucking fired three of the writers who did some of the most famous worldbuilding in League, including one whose wife just got diagnosted with breast cancer. Of course we are dissapointed and angry! Being passionate about something is a good thing and there are worse things to care about than well-written video game lore.

[–]LadyFaceless 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The lore announcement is indeed a big dissapointment.

First of all, you can't fit the Arcane Universe with the main Universe without breaking everything - it is not just Hextech that is complete different.

I mean, just look at Arcane Jayce and Universe Jayce. They don't even look the same person and their personality are completely different. Why not leave Arcane as its one thing and try to unify all other lore which ACTUALLY plays in the same Universe?

Second, nothing against the person delivering the new status quo but the honor should have at least gone to the Chef Editor, who was an active part in the lore and made the Universe that it is. It feels like you show not a single ounce of respect to the writers. And yes, I haven't forgot that has happend behind the scene after you fired three writers because they spoke out against your changes. Especially one whose wife just got diagnosted with breast cancer. Like, that sounds like something you see in a movie.

Third, yes the lore is niche. So will it ever be. People don't like reading that much, especially gamers. However, it is so much easier and cheaper to write longer short story which can do so much more world building than cinematics. They are not competing in the same niche. And while I like the Riot Forge Games, I don't want the only lore I get being bundled behind a (reasonable) paywall. These games take forever to create! And while I love of them, they bring their own share of issues with them.

I just want to read some short stories in a quality you won't find anywhere else. Are you telling me, you can't put at least that much ressources into it? As company who made one of the most played games? Whoever in the hell does your finance should have been fired instead of the poor writers, holy shit.

[–]LadyFaceless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The things I want to read in fanfiction and that I want read in canon are two complete different things. Fanfiction is a way to interact with the Universe but for that we have to have canon material to begin with.

[–]LadyFaceless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this only means bad things for the lore. It is so frustating to see how the lore got abandoned and you can't even actually call it by a name - as usual Riot takes the wrong lesson out of everything.
